My 408 is at the machine shop and I am having the rings gapped for boost and adding patriot stage 3 LQ9 heads. Also the drivetrain will be transplanted into my 04 regular cab. My new compression will be around 9.8 and I plan to run 15lbs of boost with pump gas and meth. A couple of things that are up in the air is the throttle body and intake set up. I have a vic jr. and 90mm cable throttle body that I can no longer use cause of DBW. Should I just stick a stock throttle body on the vic jr. or use a stock intake?
How much power should it make if it made 750rwhp on 15 lbs with stock heads and 9.5 compression?
Should I run 3.73 gears of 3.42 gears? My tire height is 29.5

I might be interested in your cable 90mm 
Id imagine with that CR and better breathing along with less weight it ought to get a little better mileage than your old setup and probably a bit stouter.

The cable 90mm is sold. If I don't need a 90mm DBW i would like to use stock. I read somewhere that you need a Dr. X harness to get a 90mm to work properly.
I'm hoping for 10's all day long and maybe a 9sec pass with racegas if I decide to push it.
